" Figure is a transverse sectional. view.`

Finire` 6 lis .a detached perspective view oli the slide member.

snitableartistie designs` llndand side folds are passed along;`corresponding edges oli y members llwhich torni the sides `ol `the box.

These members ll are of snch"` width. and the wrapper 'lOl is ot sachwidth to provide a central intervening` portion l2. Amember 13 whoseendslllhave cnrvcd edges 15 `is arranged between the 'members ll at thecentral. vportion 12 and said member V13 is held 1n place by asheetofmaterial 16 which 1s pasted thereto, as well as to side members @neside wall 21 ot each compartment being` v ll.-`The memberl formsuthebaclr oi" the l l curved to simulate the ordinary pages otra l boolr aswill bennnlerstood. Flach conipartment ,1 8 is providedwith a suitablecover` 22,

with their ends protrlulingmthe covers being` trictioinilly held closedand may be readily opened by exerting' a pull on the end ot either oneot the tabs. l

OFrom the foregoing; it will be nndcrstooih that the side members lilwith their com` pertinents I8 may be brought together and .in this rondion each compartment will be held closed and the commodity therein` snehas candy orcipgarsiv may bewcompletely en-l closed within the box.Securing; means 2l comprising a 'flexible element 28 which has one endsecured to the tree edge of one of the side members lle carries at itsfree end a fancifnl element29 which-is adapted to be inserted in apocket 30 provided by the comvided with a cover having a transparentpanel but no limitation is necessarily made to the use of covers of thatparticular type since in some instances it may be found desii-able touse covers or closures for the commodity carrying compartments as shownin Figures 4 and 5 of the drawing. As shown in the mentioned figures thecommodity carryin'g' compartment 35 has hinged ask at 36 to one wallthereof a one piece Cover 37. This cover has attached thereto a fingertab 38 similar' to the linger tabs 26. rlhe other commodity carryingcompartment 39 is provided with an inner liner 40 which is of lessheight than the sides of said compartment and provides a shoulder 4lwhich extends entirely around the inside of the compartment 39. A cover42 comprising jointed or hinged sections 43 and 44 serves for thecompartment 39. The section 43 thereof being hinged to one wallof 'saidconrpartment as at Section 44 of Asaid'cover being provided with amirror 46. AThe cover 42 is provided with a linger tab 47. By referringto Figure 5' of the drawing, it will be seen, that the sections 4S and44 may be folded upon each other and both sections may then be moved tobe supported by the shoulder 4 formed bythe liner 40 to closed position.lhen this particular box has served its uscfulness as a container forcandy or for any other commodity it may be used as avanity box, themirror being particularly useful in this connection since the ksections43 and 44 of the cover may be moved to the positions shown by dottedlines in'Figure 5 of the drawing, one edge of the section 44 bcingbrought into engagement With that portion of the shoulder 4l. formed bythe por tion 4S of the liner 40.

Janother feature of the box shown in Figures 4 and is the slide element49 shown in Figure G of the drawing. This element 49'is receiif'ed by amember 50 similar to the member 13 shown in the other form of theinvention. The element 4) may be found useful for containing dillierentarticles or there may be placed therein a inoisloned sponge in case thecompartments of the box are iilled with cigars. The box shown in.Figures 4 and 5 like the box shown in Figures l, 2 and 3 embodiessimilar means for holding the compartments closed upon each other inclosed box formation. l't consists of a heart shaped element 5l which isinsert able in the pocket it is to be understood that the side inem bersof the box may be covered with any preferred material such as velvet orleather or any other material so that a variety o l" different boxes maybe produced to suit different tastes.

lVhat is claimed as new is:

A receptacle comprising a hollow back member. sides, covering materialattached to said hollow back member and said sides` the said materialholding the hollow bark member disposed centrally of the sides andpro\f*iding a hinge connection between each of the sides and the hollowback member. a slide. `unit embodying a. compartment adapted to bereceived by said hollow back member, a compartment forming bottom. endand side members attached to carb of said sides, the compartmentsl'ormed by said bottom, end and side walls being spaced a distance equalto the width of said hollow back member, a closure having a trailsparentpanel for earh of said compartments. and means for holding thc sideswith their compartments closed upon each other, as and for the purposesspecified,

In testimony whereof l have allixed :ry signature.
